Sausage Stuffing

Sausage Stuffing large icon This method of making stuffing is far easier than the traditional practice of actually stuffing it inside a piece of meat. We cook the stuffing in a roasting tin, ensuring it gets evenly cooked and that it is easy to serve.

  • 70g Onion (½)
  • 1 clove of Garlic (about 4g)
  • 50g Pine Nuts
  • 1 sprig of Fresh Thyme
  • 1 sprig of Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 small bunch of Fresh Parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
  • ½ teaspoon Mixed Spice

Notes

  • Stuffing is usually an accompaniment for roast meats such as roast chicken or pork.
  • This is really just a method for making stuffing and the ingredients could be completely changed to suit your own tastes or the meal you are having (or even to whatever you happen to have in your cupboards). For example, a stuffing to accompany roast pork, could include sage and apple.
